On April 13, 2012 this article appeared in the WERDENER NACHRICHTEN confirming the Simon Family's charitable contribution to their hometown 100 years earlier. In the name of the Leopold Simon Foundation (a reference to Kurt's Grandfather) a major donation was given that allowed the city of Werden to be supported for over two decades in their efforts to provide better health care for infants. Else Simon was extremely dedicated to this cause, and none of it would have hapened or been possible without her and her high level of commitment.
